Abit lancera prochainement une nouvelle carte mère qui vise clairement le marché professionnel. L’Abit SU-2S pourra en effet gérer deux processeurs AMD Opteron, mais aussi jusqu’à 16 Go de mémoire DDR, 4 ports Gigabit Ethernet, le Serial ATA II sur 8 canaux et 3 slots PCI-X. On ne voit pas ça tous les jours. Le contrôleur Marvell 88SX-6081 SATA II permet un taux de transfert de 3 Gb, et les performances serveur sont améliorées grâce au Native Command Queue (NCQ). Le chipset embarqué est une combinaison ULi M1563 & AMD-8131, et une puce graphique ATI Rage XL est intégrée à la carte. Bref, en gros la SU-2S est un véritable monstre qui montre les nouvelles ambitions d’Abit …
